E tu vivrai nel terrore!
Italian director Lucio Fulci,
began his career during the 1950's
By the early 1970's, Giallo thrillers,
mysterious shockers, who is the killer?
A Lizard in Woman's Skin
Sette Note in Nero
Don't Torture a Duckling
Sella d'argento
1979 the maestro switched to gore,
Zombi was graphic, the audience wanted more
Paura nella città dei morti viventi
L'aldilà
Quella villa accanto al cimitero
The gates of hell trilogy
Fulci's finest hour,
executed with brilliancy
Lo squartatore di New York ...

Bird's Eye View
How long will i look into the mirror
demand that you look too
write words that i think are clever
give me likes and views
not going to be here forever
wont be anything if i can't break through
sit in a room full of lonely
look at the reflection of what i hope you'll see
a bird lands on the deck rail outside my window
while I live in fear locked in chains
bird looks at me then flies away
maybe i should stop looking for my reflection
the mirror really has nothing to say
demand that you look too
write words that i think are clever
give me likes and views
not going to be here forever
wont be anything if i can't break through
sit in a room full of lonely
look at the reflection of what i hope you'll see
a bird lands on the deck rail outside my window
while I live in fear locked in chains
bird looks at me then flies away
maybe i should stop looking for my reflection
the mirror really has nothing to say

William S. Burroughs
Mr. Burroughs was possessed by genius
founding member of the Beat Generation
1st novel was Junkie
hipster subculture sweeping the nation
After WWII morphine was his choice drug
Greenwich Village heroin was sold
became an addict for the rest of his life
shooting up till he was 83 years old
In 1951 drunk in Mexico City
time for the "William Tell Act"
highball glass on his wife's head
gun shot murder, that's a fact
Naked Lunch was his biggest seller
a series of loosely connected vignettes

Barabbas
Smoke fills my lungs
A fresh new ease
Exchanging my stress
For disease
To blind me of this plague within our streets
Free to be a slave and make ends meet
Puppeted by the corporate on a string
Toasting molotovs in these dreams
Until pitchforks rise to meet the beast
In exhale it all gets released
A fresh new ease
Exchanging my stress
For disease
To blind me of this plague within our streets
Free to be a slave and make ends meet
Puppeted by the corporate on a string
Toasting molotovs in these dreams
Until pitchforks rise to meet the beast
In exhale it all gets released

Warm-Up
Broken fingers grasp the concept
Knuckles cracked and bruised
I cannot beat this feeling
That I may lose
Sanity and friends
Together again
A web that spins
Old news
Shackled to hesitation
Inspiration lost her muse
I have the key within my sight
Shot down from my view
As I leave this place
Tripping within haze
Fast pace substantiates
But i forgot to lace my shoes
Knuckles cracked and bruised
I cannot beat this feeling
That I may lose
Sanity and friends
Together again
A web that spins
Old news
Shackled to hesitation
Inspiration lost her muse
I have the key within my sight
Shot down from my view
As I leave this place
Tripping within haze
Fast pace substantiates
But i forgot to lace my shoes

GODDESS of ITALIAN CINEMEA
Premonitions of Edwidge Fenech casts a spell over me
Mesmerizing beauty
Italian actress from the early 1970’s
Perfumed with a lethal dose of mystery & crime
Giallo Cinema
Her black cat eyes lure me in all the time
5 bambole per la luna d'agosto
Who done it?
Tutti i colori del buio
Will she survive?
Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer?
Will she remove her clothes?
Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave
Eroticism par excellence

C.S.I.
The very definition of deadbeat
is every last conservative we know
hell for leather at the buy bull retreat
and the dog and pony deer hunter show
to study the latest mass murder kit
cuz deer and people weigh about the same
so bullets make the same ballistic hit
on legal or illegal human game...
about which they fantasize all day long,
when they're not bitching about Taylor Swift
and how woke she is with her latest song
where lyrics are too big for them to sift
like the ideation they should have learned
from all the schoolbooks...

The Masquerade Ball
the world is a stage and
the Devil is the hardest working {man}
in show business
he'll have you out here throbbing 3rd dimensionally
his cabal will seduce you...slow siphon you
make you feel like you're winning
when you're actually losing...
sinning...smoking....boozing...snorting
consorting with oily spirits
greasing genitalia...opening secret portals
whistling past familiar graveyards
famously fetishized
strutting along blood red carpets
in a green mile style
as fiendish smiles...

MAGA
They've got a trigger finger itch
the likes of which you ought believe
are the first person shooter glitch
installed since Adam first beat Eve
and bruised that finger in the act
but blamed it all on the lady
since testosterone negates fact
and proceeds to call it shady.
Yet some of us are poison free
and see abuse through neutral eyes,
to mark susceptibility,
which bullies see as their next prize,
(in a one on one conspectus)...
but when meek numbers grow in size
those fuckers will respect us,
and all the...

The Outdoorsman
Earl was a handsome, cultured young man who liked being outdoors
His interests were rock climbing, hiking & acting
When he wasn't outdoors he kept a colossal, very detailed diary
Earl eventually went into the motion picture industry
With his sudden wealth, be bought a chic house on endless grounds
He began to raise lions, two to be exact
One Male & One Female
Soon he was being mobbed by people in the street for his autograph
